    Will Solex App support use or proprietary OEM Gimbal designed for Solo App

    Two general operational questions. I am trying to verify that I can still use my FLIR Thermal camera with the Solex App. I was told by the gimbal vendor that "The RHP 3DR Solo Gimbal package should be backwards compatible with the new Solex/OpenSolo apps assuming they still support legacy...

    Modifying gimbal to fit FLIR vue pro

    Here are a couple of files that should help. If you have the Solo static GOPro mount, you can attach the ACI to the solo mount. I have similar setup in the photo using a 3D printed mount for the Solo accessory bay. Hope this helps.

    Modifying gimbal to fit FLIR vue pro

    There was something called an Action Camera Interface (ACI) that came in the box with mine. Makes mounting to static Go pro mount easy.

    There is a company named OEM Cameras that sells a 3 axis gimbal designed just for the Flir Vue Pro series. Cost you around $1500. Operates just like the Solo Gimbal......

    Used Multispectral Imaging Cameras

    I have a Parrot Sequoia, with light sensor and calibration panel that I would sell for $3000.00 (you pay shipping freight from Houston Texas). It has less than 10 flights on my 3 DR Solo.

    HDMI output

    Hey Solo gurus. I am having difficulty in getting any output from my Solo transmitter using a Fosman micro HDMI cable connected to a 24” LG IPS gaming monitor. All the marketing hype claimed I could make this simple connection and would be able to display what was seen on the device with the...

    Stuck Battery

    Steve..thanks very much for your reply......Turns out that I had to actually "shave" a little of the plastic off the back lip of my Solo battery compartment to get it off. Didn't have to shave off too much, and by gripping as you suggested...it came right of without damaging the release latch ...

    Stuck Battery

    Got a new 3DR Solo from Best Buy. Installed battery.. had good first flight.. but now I can't get the battery to "slide off" to change it out. I am able to depress the release tab, and it moves about 1/2 inch before it "jams". Don't want to break any of the delicate plastic here. Anyone else...

    Removing Solo Propellers

    I had an unexpected hard landing today and my Solo actually flipped over while still running. I was able to power off the controller to minimize any damage, but now I can't get three of the propellers off. Any suggestions? Is there a special tool required to get them off without damaging the...
